ONLINE: Random Woven Nest Baskets Workshop

May 16, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

online via zoom

Random weave is one of Joan's favourite styles of baskets. The structure is beautiful, reminding one of birds' nests. It is strong, durable and lends itself to sculptural forms in both small and large scale. We will discuss several ways of approaching this technique. A materials kit will be provided consisting of dyed round reed for the construction of this basket. Discussion will cover how to harvest and forage for other plant material suitable for this technique. Kits included in the price. Kit pick up will be at the Gardens, date to be confirmed.

Kit Collection: At the Gardens at HCP. We will email you to confirm the date they are ready to be collected.
Tool list: Sharp secateurs, an old towel, 5”-6” cable ties and/or long twist ties, flat piece of cardboard no smaller then 15” square (basically the side of a large box will do fine)

HCP Members $120 / Non Members $140
